I've been thinking about it now and I find transgender even more odd now.
Labeling yourself as a gender is striving to conform to society which apparently has strict rules for the definition of genders. But in that process you're actually outcasting yourself from society by trying to change your predefined sex.
Let's take a woman who is sexually attracted to women and also wants a penis and a beard. She gets her sex change operation and what then? Why pretending you are a man now when you could just as easily say that you are a lesbian woman who wants to have a penis and a beard? Why try to insist you're a different person now when all you did was modify your body to satisfy your desire?
It's really weird that we have labels for these completely arbitrary things. It's like having different gender definitions for people who like coffee or tea in the morning.
Would be cool if one day there were no genders we could identify ourselves with and instead identify ourselves with what we do and what we desire. Or maybe it's getting worse and one day we will have transgamers who were console players but now identify as pc master race.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
